Wish I could of saw this one, but they weren't playing it in the south.

Good to see Butler stepping up these last few games. Maybe we aren't losing all our best players at the end of the year!

Foster struggled through the first portion of the Big Ten schedule. But he has flourished in the four-game stretch beginning with the Jan. 30 win over Florida A&M.

Over that four-game stretch, Foster has averaged 19.5 points per game and shot 77.8 percent (21 of 27) from behind the three-point arc. At one point in this stretch, Foster made 17 of 18 consecutive three-point tries.

Holy cow! That is unreal! It's like he's at the frickin foul line or something. Hell, even if it was just FTs, 17 of 18 would be impressive, but threes? Wowsa!

You missed a great game, what game was shown instead of this one?

Anyways Butler has beens shooting lights out as well as Je'Kel Foster, whom was 19 of his last 23 three point attempts through the last couple of games.

The Bucks will most likely move up to at least 13-14 since several other ranked teams lost this last week coupled with 2 top 25 wins. You would also think that the Bucks would be higher than Illionio, but who knows.

The three loses the Bucks have are a combined 10 points, a couple baskets in our favor and we could be undeafeted.

I don't recall what game they had on, only that it wasn't OSU.

Concerning losses, that's the thing: all the other Big Ten teams have a least one bad loss, either a losing to a weak team or getting blown out by a strong one. OSU has no bad losses. And they're getting better as the season goes on. A confernece title and sweet 16 birth is looking more and more doable this year.

Now the Bucks are ranked 12, whatever happens from this point out this has been a total suprise. You have to view this season as a success.

Final Four here we come.

yeah that was a great game, and its even greater when you get to watch it from the student section. everyone was goin crazy. our defense was definitely the biggest surprise. jamar butler shut down dee brown and that set the whole tone of the game.

we've got a big game on the road tomorrow at wisconsin, its always so hard to go in there and get a win. if we can go 5-1 in our final 6 games i think a regular season championship/co-championship is definitely doable. gotta win one of the tough ones (which is @ wisc, and @ mich st.)
